If you have the respect of your dog, and the dog has confidence in your ability to take of him or her, you have the battle half won. Spend some time interacting with your dog. Many social rules are learned through play. It provides a fun environment for the dog, but it allows you to be able to set boundaries. These boundaries are crucial when you are training your dog. You also need to make sure the dog trusts you, and you can do that by being a strong leader.
